Correct answer is C
Loss% = \(\frac{\text{actual loss}}{\text{cost price}}\) x 100%
\(\frac{N150 - N120}{N150} \times 100%\)
\(\frac{N30}{N150} \times 100%\)
= 20%
What is the least possible value of \(\frac{9}{1 + 2x^2}\) if 0 \(\geq\) x \(\geq\) 2?
9
5
1
2
Correct answer is C
0 \(\geq\) x \(\geq\) 2 \(\to\) 0, 1, 2
If x = 0, \(\frac{9}{1 + 2x^2}\)
\(\frac{9}{1 + 2(0)^2}\) = \(\frac{9}{1}\)
= 3
If x = 2, \(\frac{9}{1 + 2(1)^2}\)
= \(\frac{9}{3}\)
= 3
If x = 2, \(\frac{9}{1 + 2(2)^2}\)
= \(\frac{9}{9}\)
= 1
The least value of \(\frac{9}{1 + 2x^2}\) is 1 when x = 2
Which of the following lines is not parallel to the line 3y + 2x + 7 = 0?
3y + 2x - 7 = 0
9y + 6x + 17 = 0
24y + 16x + 19 = 0
3y - 2x + 7 = 0
15y + 10x - 13 = 0
Correct answer is D
Two lines are said to be parallel if the slope of the two lines are equal.
The equation : \(3y + 2x + 7 = 0\)
\(3y = -2x - 7\)
\(y = \frac{-2}{3} x - \frac{7}{3}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm d x} = - \frac{2}{3}\)
All the options have the same slope except \(3y - 2x + 7 = 0\).
\(\alpha\) = 1, \(\beta\) = \(\frac{5}{7}\)
\(\alpha\)= 1, \(\beta\) = -\(\frac{5}{7}\)
\(\alpha\)= \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\beta\) = -6
\(\alpha\)= 1, \(\beta\) = -\(\frac{3}{5}\)
Correct answer is A
x\(\frac{3}{8}\) x y\(\frac{-6}{7}\) x (\(\frac{y^{\frac{9}{7}}}{x^{\frac{45}{8}}}\))\(\frac{1}{9}\) = \(\frac{y^{\alpha}}{y^{\beta}}\)
x\(\frac{3}{8}\) x y\(\frac{-6}{7}\) x y\(\frac{1}{7}\) = x\(\alpha\)
= x\(\frac{3}{8}\) + \(\frac{5}{8}\) + y\(\frac{6}{7}\) + \(\frac{1}{7}\)
= x\(\alpha\)y\(\beta\)
x1y\(\frac{-5}{7}\) = x\(\alpha\)y\(\beta\)
\(\alpha\) = 1, \(\beta\) = \(\frac{5}{7}\)
Write the equation 2 log2x - x log2(1 + y) = 3 in a form not involving logarithms
2x(1 + y) = 3
2x - x(1 + y) = 8
x2 = 8(1 + y)x
x2 - x(1 + y) = 8
x2 - (1 + y)2 = 8
Correct answer is C
2log2 x - x log2 (1 + y) = 3
log2 \(\frac{x^2}{(1 + y)^x}\) = 3
= \(\frac{x^2}{(1 + y)^x}\)
= 23
= 8
